Hello the Internet, and welcome to week trend Report. Week Weekend Trending Report, Part Oh yeah five, oh yeah, oh yeah the trend five like the fast five.

That that was what they called that one. I'm Jack, that's Miles. Yeah, it's bar It's Monday, baby, Yeah we are.

But we we did the barb of the Barbenheimer Bopper. We did the but of the Opop.

Yeah.

I saw two people rocking the Barbenheimer's shirt at the Barbie when I saw Barbie it is.

It was a full on cultural event. Yeah, truly, it's been a while.

My only note is that the movie is doing so well. They're really churning through them. Do not expect the full twenty minutes of previews, because you know, we're we're stuck in a thirty minute line at the concessions. And I was like, yeah, no, we'll be fine. Like the last movie I went and saw, it didn't start till like forty minutes after the showtime, and we got in missed the first scene. Miles, I had no idea what the fuck was going on?

You made the first scene? Yeah?

What so, so that's what this episode is going to be. I'm just going to be asking you question. Yeah, was it was the first scene, the one was it the trailer? Remember they had.

The hell the Helen Mirr and narrator with the girls playing with doll.

So I had seen it, so I wasn't totally lost. Yeah, but uh, five stars, no notes from my end.

I thought.

I thought it was a full on triumph.

I hated it.

And that's what this, that's what makes us show fun. Yeah all right, Uh so that's Oh, we're.

Gonna we're gonna talk early. Uh yeah, yeah, no to worry.

We're uh we're going to talk about Barbie Moore in the in the news section.

The first. We like to pick off the week with.

A little over under from your boys, Miles and Jack your boys.

Uh you want to kick us off? You want to kick us off? Oh you had underrated first. I'll do my underrated first.

Underrated just a just a bowling date. Oh yeah, you know.

I so her majesty and I we hit Barbie. We went to this new We went to this mall that was like kind of further out because's where were gonna get tickets And I hadn't really been to this mall.

It's gigantic.

Okay, this I've never been to a mall so big, like in La I was kind of surprised that growing up this is the Santa Anita mall. For full disclosure, Uh, it was gigantic, and there's like a daven Busters an AMC and like a bowlero or some shit on like the same spot. So after we saw the movie, we're like, you know, my mom was watching the kids, so I was.

Like, let's let's like, let's just do a little bowling.

Wow, there's something so fucking pure. I don't know for

Fucking suck a ball. It's fucking disturbing. I'm so bad, like and I'm I'm not joking. I hit.

I threw a gutter ball every frame, every frame, every frame, like one gutter bar. Then I get, then I hit like then i'd then I hit a strike, or then I hit or I guess it's a spare at that point or eight pins nine pins. I just, for whatever reason I get, I'm fucking wildly inconsistent and I need helps. I gang if you're bowling, ze gang. Honestly, I need to be better at bowling because I've never seen such a hence bowling game between two people where the score that one was fifty eight, but.

It was Man, bowling may be clean, fun the way you do it, but I get dirty on the lanes. Man, I get get greasy down there in those lanes. You get a bowling no no, no, no no no no. Yeah, well so I have, but I'm like inconsistent. I think anyone who doesn't bowl a lot you can get on streaks where you're.

Really locked in.

And yeah, my wife and I went to a like did a bowling date in the past year at like a retro.

Bowling lane or yah in Highland Park. I think, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, figure out, and yeah I had some good frames there.

I one time went I went bowling U two stones back in my younger years, and I couldn't even make it to the arrows on the lane, like it would just go directly into the utter, like just.

Like two inches like on the release just.

Got Yeah, there was just like some weird mental block that I had it.

I just like couldn't.

Like the people I was asking or I was bowling with, were asking me like, are you are you fucking serious?

Yeah, like how the fuck you damn it?

Were you doing the thing where you were like whipping it to do like you'll like it like between the legs like ramost.

Out of my own way? Ye? Yeah, I do.

Every single time I bowl, I try and do the thing where h you roll one normal speed and then the other really slow and try and get a strike on both of them.

Oh end up hurling around the other one.

Yeah, yeah that was happening for me. But anyway, Uh, if you got tips, please let me know. I did everything. I shifted boards. I'm trying to just have my release goes. I don't know, man, I'm I'm I'm fucking wildly.

Are you trying to put the stink on it? Are you trying to know? No? Yeah, I just go straight.

There were these people in the lane next to me, right, these like dudes were so agro with it. They were just as shitty, but they could not get out of their like tough guy bowling style to just fucking whip it down the lane.

Yeah, and like with wild ass spin.

Like one guy at one point hit like a really clean strike with a wild spin on. I was like, Oh, maybe this motherfucker knows he's doing. Then the next five were just like chaotic. So like I tried to go much more like out. Yeah, Like I was much more conscientious about like where I was, what I was doing.

Anyway, all that to say, shout out bowling.

Shout out bowling. My underrated is personalized license plates. I'd never do it, but I'm never not intrigued by a personalized license plate. They like people just give us little puzzles to solve while we're stuck in traffic.

Yeah, where you get to be like, what sort of personality disorder does this person have? What are you into? Yeah, what's this distillation of who you are? What's the best one you saw recently?

Well, so I I saw one that just said big mad on a drive the other day and I was like, all right, okay, so I know where you're coming from.

I saw and they just said, no wife, ladies, you know, no wife.

And then I went looking for personalized plates this morning on the internet and they found one that was jizz Lord. But people are assuming that it meant Jay is like Jesus is, but they give but they came through with the dizz Lord, which I you know again, I would love to encounter that in the wild on these streets.

Oh man, you got an overrated for me, overrated man.

So getting drunk and fighting people at an exhibition soccer.

Match, so you have a swollen shut black eye right now?

Hell no.

So over the weekend, right there was an exhibition game between Manchester United and Arsenal. There was a and this was in New Jersey like at the Meadowlands or whatever it's called now Metal Life Field or whatever the fuck is called uh, and Arsenal fans started fucking fighting each other in the stands. Yeah, hot, Yeah, I don't know what happened. I mean, yeah, we lost like tow no,

When they scored the first time.

I was like, whatever, this dude looks drunk, ast shit, he looks like this matters to him.

I was like, whatever, this is just the cost of it. Like I wasn't gonna, I wasn't start tripping.

The second time he did it, I look back and I was like, is this motherfucker for real? And so were the other people in some of the other rows. When the third goal went in, everybody turned around to be like mother, yes, They're like, don't and he was like.

I don't give all he said.

He kept I don't give a fuck, started whipping it around, got it all over these like little six year old kids, and shit we throw in front of me. And so the dad in that row and his homies, they were ready to fucking square up and just duff this dude out and his boys because they were like because they started jawing and ship they started standing like and I'm me and my friends were in the roll in between,

And then this one dude, he was.

Getting so his kids, just his kids started getting upset, and I was like, hey, man, look at it. I had to be like, bro, I'm not trying to fight you, but please look at your son like he is fucking upset, like he's tugging at you, being like, don't do this. And that's when like the guy had to be like you know, then I was, and then I saw on the other guy, I'm like, look what you're doing, man, youre getting this.

Little kid upset. You're throwing beer, Like what the fuck is this for?

Luckily they deaded it, but then the other guys were saying like, yeah, I'm gonna catch outside whatever.

I don't think that happened, but.

All that to say, I was just like, what the fuck is like people just getting too turned up and I think friendly, yeah, and I think they were kind of. I think the guy was kind of being intentional because one of my friends had ac Milan jersey.

But there was like ac Milan people all over.

It was just very odd and like, anyway, the temperature's hot, y'all out there, and it just seems like part and parcel now like every sports, like anytime I've seen live sports, pretty close to being like on the brink of always seeing people, you know, start scrapping.

But anyway, really, Brian says, my first soccer game, I got hit in the face by a guy diving for a T shirt from a T shirt cannon, so's it's definitely a vibe.

Yeah, I think, But also I think it's one of those moments maybe it's not really about the fighting, but I think it was just I kind of had this adrenaline rush after because as like a new parent, I definitely saw myself in this guy's position of like, yo, man, you're fucking throwing beer like all over my kids and shit, like whether you intentionally wanted to get it on my kids, but like I'm a sacee, like I'm not about to fucking not say shit, like I'm gonna let you know

Himself, like, oh my god, this is so tragic.

I was like, fucking I was. I was, Yeah, yeah, I was a little excited after.

Yeah, parenthood.

You have to make sure your kid knows you're not a punk, and you know, just hit the biggest guy who challenged you as quick.

Yeah, make sure knock the security guard out with his own mag like.

But it was wild too because the cops, like people were like in the stands trying to get security because they could feel that someone was gonna kick off. And all this fucking cop did from like the field was like shine is light and be like hey, hey, hey, hey, I see you.

I see you. I'm like, I don't know if that's going to stop, but hey, and you are you have the spotlight, sir, go go ahead. Yeah.

I've always thought of soccer as being like more of a communal thing where everyone's singing together and stuff. But I guess that's not always the case, especially when it's not when there's not like a home team and it's just a bunch of it.

There's a lot of tension, man, because there's a lot of fans who kind of like think they're on that like Hooligan Ultra type thing, and like, I don't think it's for kids, but it's an exhibition match and there's families there, and like, yeah, I don't.

Know, man, it's just just just have a good time. Like we're here to see something that we wouldn't normally be able to see.

So yeah, well I attended a live event and it's also my overrated Miyes.

Okay, so we weren't alone.

You know, being in Los Angeles, we don't get to the theater very often. You know, we hear about it from people in New York, but I rarely get to watch professional app actors tread the boards.

Finally made it to the theater and avenue what did you see?

Uh? Then you known as Crypto dot com Arena to take in a play called The Jurassic World Live.

Yes, I wanted to go see that ship.

I think it was at the Honda Center at Anaheim last weekend and I was thinking about going because I'm so Jurassic Park brained.

Miles was it? How was it?

I'm sorry Jurassic World, but this is going to be a pan It is a two active play in which puppet dinosaurs interact with human actors on motorcycles. Some things blow up. It is way too plot driven. Really is full of plots.

So one of the big problems with don't know.

The Instagram ad of this thing, which I was getting slammed with, made it look like of the fucking t rex's them out and he will walk with dinosaurs dope ass dinosaur show without much anything needed, because like you're looking at like big ass t rexes and ship.

But I'm trying to get my kids into dinosaurs because the Star Wars stuff is becoming a little overbear like it's just wall to wall like John Williams scores from the obscure like parts of episode three where it's like, oh yeah, like this one really hits. Actually a battle between Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin.

He's like, I got layer steam on loop.

Yeah, so I'm I'm like, you know what I bet you'd like is dinosaurs. They're pretty cool, and like, my kids aren't even get into dinosaurs after seeing this.

You can't bro I don't know. I think that you fucked the sequence up.

Yeah, yeah, I don't think you can get dinosaurs Star Wars not because you just went to the future and then back to the cave man.

Especially a long long time ago when Ago ole far far away. But yeah, I see your point.

Unless like the dinosaurs have lasers and ship shooting out of it, because my progression was dinosaurs and then I was like, yo, what the.

Fuck are he is like light swords and shit, Oh yeah, I'm over here now.

The big problem with Jurassic World Live is that it is a theatrical play where you're.

In an arena and.

They've they've constructed it so that it is like telling a story that has a lot of like back and forth dialogue between characters, but you have no idea who's talking, and there are at times twenty people on stage acting.

Is it like a play where the focal point is clearly like over here there's like dinosaurs mandering on one part of the arena floor, and then people are having a combo like can you follow what's happening at all?

Have you been to a theater before? So it's not like this, Yeah, exactly, it's like this. The entire it's like the entire hockey floor, you know, a NHL ice sized stage with dinosaur puppets and then human actors, normal sized human actors.

And normally you you need to know.

Who's talking at various points, because like they've written it so that like five people are having a conversation and like so the actors are asked to use their body language to communicate, like I'm the one imparting this witty tossed off big like as much as they can, you know, but people generally don't raise and pump their fists over their head when they're like casting off a witty aside. So it's it's a real men.

What is the plot? If you can walk me through? What is the narrative of this show?

So it takes place the Jurassic world they have.

It's not like you're they've brought the dinosaurs to the arena. You're watching a play about your watching.

A play about the whole world. Yes, oh that's why it's Jurassic World. Yes, and.

The like they're working with a genius dinosaur named Genie, which is short for genius. Uh, and that like it's a lot of like lab scenes with her and they're like, wow, the decoder seems to say she's having complex emotions and then the t rex breaks through and then Engen wants to control this genius dinosaur.

For it's just way too much plot for.

Weapons, which is always which is always the idea that they've just taken the logic from the Alien franchise and they're like, yeah, this makes sense. You would breed dinosaurs to use Lemon's weapons, the most unpredictable, inefficient weapon that you could possibly.

Imagine, practical nuclear weapons.

Yeah, wen, you rite, but think about how sick it would be if you were riding a fucking raptor in Yeah, exactly. But yeah, I mean it has like five different settings, like it goes from Jassic World to I guess three settings Jassic World New York City, to a desert in South America, back to Jurassic War, back to the abandoned island, and it's.

Just they put too much, too much plot in there.

I really felt for the actors having to be like I'm the one talking right now with their big like sweeping gestures and like pointing their thumbs up their shoulders, and then the fight choreography is just you know, there are these like long fifteen minute like fights where like it's basically like you know, child play fighting, but if the instead of children, it was ballerinas, like because they they're all you know, trained actors and dancers, so they

Yeah, I get that valid criticism. It's a dying art.

That's why you got to go to the movies. We're going to talk about the movies right after this. We'll be right back and we're back, We're Boppenheimer was a success, arousing success people opt in Heimer. This weekend for so Barbie is like the most biggest opening weekend of the year, right ahead of Super Mario Brothers. It was like way way more than anybody was expecting.

Did it like double didn't It wasn't each movie double the projection.

Basically, So yeah, it was wild, Like how many people went, like the the theaters were teaming with people in pink.

Yeah, and I wore my pink Yeah.

I wore pink pants and uh you know pants, Yeah, I got pink pants.

Are those like some like like some pink cords? Oh wow?

Okay, okay, my wife wore a pink jumpsuit and we we went and saw a man's Chinese and oh wow, okay, and Freddy Krueger. On the way out, she said Freddy and he said Barbie.

So she was pulling it off.

Anyways, I've only seen Barbie. I'm gonna see Oppenheimer this week. Uh, Barbie's great. That's that's my review. Yeah, awesome.

I think I gotta say I saw Barbie two. I think Greta Gerwig and was it Noah bombback. But let's just we'll give all praise to Greta did a really good job of just like threading what I felt was a nearly impossible needle to threat of, like talking about the topic of Barbie wrestling with it's placed in like the concept of modern womanhood and patriarchy and all that, while still.

Being like a fun summer movie. So fun.

That's where I'm like, you did.

Oh hell yeah, I And again I'm not joking. I was so excited to go to the movies this weekend. I've not felt like this. I don't it's been a fucking long time since. For some reason, I felt like the Nicole Kimmen commercial, like it feels good to fall in love in a place like this, or get.

Your heart whatever. I got in there quick. Oh yeah, I have my Kerry Coke. That first scene I got emotional. Yeah. I don't know why.

Maybe it could have been because I was like in the second row looking on a big ass screen and my eyes just watering from just having to be too close and like light sensitivity. It starts off great and then it's just such a it's a it's a fun ride and without spoiling anything, I think there's so many good jokes that I'm sure we'll be talking about out for yeah a while.

But yeah, yeah, sorry, am I eating something delicious because I'm seeing noams everywhere in this film?

Oh really, I already already did that joke off?

Yeah, I had that, Yeah, and you didn't got one one grown all right, Ryan Gosling, I think will be nominated for Supporting Actor. I think Greta Gerwig will be nominated for director.

What about uh mag uh mah Marcot Robbie.

Yeah, I think she could definitely be nominated for lead. But I think Greta Gerwig now is like in the conversation as like the best writer director working like she's three for three in just like three wildly different movies, right, I mean, I haven't seen Little Women, but I hear it's good.

Yeah, I've seen It's funny, I've seen little I saw Little Women when it came out. I don't know what it's count, couldn't tell you what it was about, but it was good and I just like mind meld.

Like Greta Gerwig used my favorite song push by Matchbox twenty throughout my go to karaoke. That song will never be the same again.

No, definitely not. I don't know.

Like I think there's like a lot of climate anxiety stuff in there that is interesting that I don't see a lot of people pointing out like that you're waking up from an artificial consumers world to realize like we're all going to die. But it's I don't know. There's also like obviously.

Like bumming other people out when you talk about it. Yes, exactly what I know. I mean, like the Barbie world.

Is like plastic on the beach and like plastic water. It's like I think that there's like interesting ideas in there, like both textually and subtextually. I think I think it's really good. They did did did a really nice job. Was not such a fan Ben Shapiro.

Let's let's I know what it is, because I mean I remember on Thursday or whenever the embargo was lifted, every right wing person was like, this is a woke mess. I think I forget Judge Jani one of them people from Fox like it's a trojan horse for feminism. I'm like, that shit is not a trojan horse. They hit through the fucking wall.

Trojan horse.

There's a feminist subtext in here somewhere I can't I can't quite see it, but right, right, right, no, like all the jokes are explicitly overtly like about feminism, and uh.

Yeah, Benchapiro. After he put so, he posted a.

Tweet complaining that his producers dragged him to see Barbie. Uh he is, of course by himself in the picture holding but totally one real unpresumably, you know, just just out of frame like Nathan Fielder's friends.

Wait, but why is he holding papers.

In front of the get the dossier when you went to the Barbie?

It's just so weird, Like he's like in his I love your tucked in black tea into your black jeans, Ben love it standing in front of the poster with like I don't know, like three loose sheets of paper with this like disapproving look like, but my notes are skating. Could you imagine him scribbling with pen and paper and.

Too woke? Too woke? Was it? Was it the fact, I'm guessing it was the just in.

Your face fucking messages about inequalities in our society.

So he released a forty three minute video devoted to nothing but Barbie and appeared to try and spark mass protests against the movie that most of the world was already in the process of seeing and enjoying and disagreeing

Go on.

He also claims that it's says it's a feminist clap trap and it features a transactress and this is true totally normally as if this is a female Barbie with a voice deeper than my own, which is completely not true.

Like I had truly had no idea. Wait, that went over my head. Yeah, this is one.

Of the Barbies is a trans woman And oh okay, what scene the it's the barbie with kind of reddish hair. I thought it was a dual lipa because I don't really know which one dua lipa is. Yeah, a Lipa's in there. There's just so many Barbies to.

Keep track of.

Yeah, yeah, it was a lot of Barbies and a lot of Ken's. But yeah, wow, I like that. He really, I mean, he must have really done his transphobic research to fucking pinpoint that moment.

Yeah, I think he did, and it was really He was outraged. He claimed the film is explicitly designed to divide men from women, describing it as angry feminist clap trap that alienates men from women. He's he's an amazing one of our foremost thinkers on.

Gender and you know, inequality in general. I think, thank you. I think that's very yeah, in line with his philosophy for sure. One thing that was.

Kind of interesting though, is like in dealing with a topic that is so inherently violent, like patriarchy, you know, like in my mind, like I'm I'm thinking of like the most violent manifestations of patriarchy that we have like in our in our culture. Like I was just thinking of like those women who are testifying in Texas, like as they're trying to sue Ken Paxton about their inability

That's that's a that's a hard thing to do.

Although I feel like with other times, I'm curious how like another topic may have been perceived, like if it was dealing with like white supremacy, if it was like flippant, But I get that there is a way to do that.

Like already we have.

Movies that like skew these kinds of things, but yet I have it in a way that has the right wing people panicked. I'm like, yeah, you did a good job. I'm sure they love the America for Era monologue too. That's probably when like conservatives walked out of the fucking movie.

I'm sure.

Yeah, where everybody at the theater I went to was cheering.

Throughout and I did. Yeah.

So Harry nef is the Doctor slash DJ Barbie Dua Lipa is the Mermaid according to Anna, and yeah, there's just a lot of a lot of Barbie going around. But yeah, a real, a real good time of the movies. I was thinking about, like Greta Titelman's American Ambassador character from LOSAs Spooky's during the movie a lot. Just it seems like it like has a lot of the same esthetics from those scenes the first season. But apparently the Barbie aesthetic is like incredibly popular in Latin America for

And in Mexico, a.

Young woman started sewing outfits for searching Mother Barbie, like modeled on the clothes typically worn by the families of the one hundred and eleven thousand people missing in Mexico, who are you know, forced to fend for themselves because the given up on them. So it's being used in interesting ways, and oh yeah around the country.

It's just like, yeah, to your point about like just the plasticity of it all and like kind of like what that the larger themes or messages are like I think when you pair that with Oppenheimer, like where you have you know, Barbie on one end and.

The fucking bomb on the other.

Yeah, it does put you in this weird in between because they are like like it even the bomb will induce like sort of this like existential dread and anxiety over like what we're doing, what we've done, like what

Like those are just two movies that are coming out.

But for some reason, it's like I don't know, I think embodying what a lot of us are feeling. Whether it's we want to we want the maybe people seek the predictability and cleanliness of a Barbie world and ignoring the things that we dread, but I don't know, it's a lot of it gives us a lot of things to distract ourselves.

With and I enjoyed it and then ultimately end with the realization that we're all going to die.

Yeah, it's important. Yeah, gotta know that first and foremost.

Yeah, all right, let's take another quick break and we'll come back and hit some non Barbie stories. We'll try, I mean, Barbie is invading everything. But we'll be right back and we're back. And what's going on in the world of politics. Obviously we talked about there on Wednesday. There's going to be some big uap ufo hearings on the house coming up.

What else we see in what else? What else?

I don't know, I mean, there's there, there's plenty going on. I think the one thing that's gonna take up a big chunk of stupid air in the house is the House GOP's efforts to expunge Trump's impeachments, like like really angry parents who are like, don't worry, honey, we're gonna get that suspension taken off.

Your record and no one will remember it.

And yeah, which is so fucking weird to me that they think, just because it's taken off the record, that that will somehow, you know, repair his reputation anyway. So Kevin McCarthy is caught in the middle because he suffers from what we have repeatedly called desert thirst.

When it comes to political power.

The man will do and say anything to try and like climb the ladder. And last week he off handedly mentioned that Trump, you know, may not be the strongest candidate.

Wow. Yeah, and then.

That has everybody clutching their MAGA pearls and he's.

Like, no, no, no, no, I didn't. I didn't. That's what I meant. Okay, okay, Like here's the thing.

Yeah, I hear you guys want to take a vote to expunge his record. Okay, then well I'll do that like sort of like as a make good But now he's now he's found himself in this place, which he repeatedly finds himself in because he's always doing backdoor deals with people who have no moral scruples are so inconsistent. So the MAGA caucus people are all like, we need this vote like or else. It's a fucking embarrassment. Moderates however you want to call them, whatever that word means.

I'm trying to get reelected and I can't.

Be I gotta appear like some MAGA adjacent Republican, not big Maga. So if that happens, if they don't vote for it, that means the measure would fail, which would make Trump even angrier, because again, this is all just like an optics exercise for this man's ego. And yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green's like, I'm hoping that we'll have something before the August recess, but good luck with that.

Just such a We'll be checking in with it every day just to see like where they are with this.

Because it's very important.

It is so funny that they like have a like they're not dealing with the media. They're just like dealing with one person's opinion of them, like that that that's all they care about. It's got to be very like I don't remember. Yeah, it's got to be very surreal and weird where they're just like, okay, like has he sent me a mean email?

All right, right, then we're good. Yeah.

Yeah, So I mean, uh, well, we'll see where this goes. But he's McCarthy is consistently walking a tight rope trying to please the unpleasable.

Yeah, and then Twitter is now X or is going to become ex god. Elon Musk announced that Twitter will be replacing the Twitter bird with the letter X. And also, I guess Twitter will just be called X now because I don't know, man.

I mean, if you go X dot com, it already redirects you to Twitter.

Yeah, so he's obsessed with the letter X, like you might. You might remember his one of his child with Grimes, I think has like an X in the name. There's like, I mean, it's not an X in the name like Xavier.

I think.

I think it's like X is the first, Like it's a series of letters and X is the first. And he also like his cars, like his car models, like the Tesla X model is a thing. He's Space X. And his banking service that he tried to launch was X dot com, which merged with another company and became PayPal. So that's like how we got this asshole in the first place. So he thinks the letter X is really cool, it would seem, and that's where this is coming from.

Yeah, it's it feels like also just in his like really add tragically uncool brain that he thinks that this is the move for Twitter. It's like make it the worst website, then just change everything around apparently like they like I think they suspended the X videos account like a porn account because videos on Twitter are gonna be called X videos like everything's excentric.

Uh and I I don't know.

I'm kind of like really enjoying watching him completely make like compound all these compounding mistakes over and over, Like what X is only cool to people who are like of his age. I feel like that he couldn't shake that idea of X being cool, right.

I guess he is gen X, right, Yeah, yeah, so he's just living the truth. Man.

You know, X is fucking so sick, man, I just because they wanted to be like an everything website. I don't know, man, it's pretty soon it's gonna be just called like hometown buffet or some shit.

Right, we do it.

Back in May, he had this statement where he was like, uh, my new CEO will help me transform this platform into X And I thought that was just like he accidentally released like a placeholder statement where it's like, you know,

It's not gonna work here, it's not gonna work here. And meanwhile, like fucking Mark Zuckerberg and metow it's like laughing all their way to their way to the top with threads.

This does seem to be a thing that it's like it's like a phase of billionaire megalomania where you have to like rename your thing, you know, like Google became alphabet, Yeah, Facebook meta meta, which just seems I don't know, completely counter but it is like a way to generate cheap heat about you and like make a what could be seen as like an esthetic creative decision to be like that's credit for thinking about something and being a taste maker of some sort.

Yeah. Again, it just seems like a cynical move to do something with money, kind of like when Lebron James is like I'm going back to number twenty three.

It's like, what the fuck keep changing Jersey numbers?

Glad I never bought the number six one, but yeah, good luck to you, Elon, And by that I mean fuck off.

Uh and we'll see where this thing goes. But I don't it just it just looks weird right now too, like X at the top.

I feel like it's a website for like a janky like boutique hotel.

Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out if Elon Musk has a child named just X, or if that it's the one that we all talked about when he and Grime said the kid right, and it was like act and then AE and a bunch of smols that.

Like weird a that I don't I'm stupid. I don't know what that character is called. And then like a through twelve or age.

From knowing what that character is called. Miles.

Yeah, sorry, sorry, folks, they change it.

It's why I think the baby's now why oh just why?

Yeah, it really is fully changed. I got I guess like it hadn't cashed on my uh browser until just now, but there is now just a dumb X at the top of the website.

Dude, Hey, are you going to reax my my ex from earlier, like my exes, Dude, I like my exes.

What all right?

Well, those are some of the things that happened this weekend. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.

Bye bye,
